70vette:
Thank you for the offer Sirfixalot!...after its painted ill submerge it in the tank with some low air pressure and see if it bubbles. I must say I didnt even think about that but I suspect it is ok. The welds all look clean and good and the fact that it didn't seem to leak before pulling the car apart makes me feel confident its ok😎.
bfit:
Be careful the canister is designed for vacuum , it would be best to test at 15 to 20 in/mq and hold that for half an hour with no looses.
sirfixalot:
I would be checking before painting also may be pinholed with rust inside is only bright sheet steel. After testing squirt a bit of clean oil inside & sloosh around to coat inside
Vettech:
Ummm oil is good, but fish oil or something that coats and sticks evenly would be a bit better, Lanolin oil !?, Chain lub is probably too sticky ichy to evenly coat.
Definitely check before paint, paint can cover a multitude of sins. (for a while)
And Bfit is right (oh bite my tongue) about putting pressure in - only a few psi, tub of water and wash up detergent.
70vette:
Ill let you guys know how I go with it. I was going to block all but one outlet and blow some compressed air at very low pressure and spray some soapy water around the weld and outlets😎
